A Tesla Model S sedan with a storage compartment under the front hood fondly nicknamed the ‘frunk’ by owners of the electric car, is on display in 2013 at the Earth Day Fair in Newcastle.
At the Spring Electric Vehicle Show, members of the Seattle Electric Vehicle Association will showcase many different vehicles, including classic cars that have been converted to run on electricity as well as production vehicles such as the Tesla, Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus, Mitsubishi, Fiat 500 and plug-in hybrids. Dealers and other sustainability representatives will be on hand to showcase how driving electric vehicles saves money while also saving the planet.
“This car show should be the largest gathering of electric vehicles in one place ever mounted in the Northwest,” SEVA President Stephen Johnsen said in a news release. “It will be an excellent opportunity for local families to come and learn about the benefits and efficiencies of electric driving — directly from the owners who use electric vehicles every day.”
